Take a journey back in time to a summer spent on the Hopi Reservation of Arizona. The pathway to spiritual transformation is called the Butterfly Trail but it requires an open heart and empty hands. The ancient prophecies reveal an inner transformation to the simple life of compassion and relationship. The author slept on the floor, toiled in the fields, dug clay to make pots and tended the fires, but this humble experience had a truly profound affect -- the butterfly effect of personal spiritual awakening. This book is the second in the series, THE SHAMAN'S DOOR. It follows Wolf Trail and continues the story of a young woman's journey for meaning, love and peace. Shamanism is an ancient spiritual pathway available to anyone who opens their hearts to the ancient ways and the power of nature.

The wolf trail is the band of stars western people call "The Milky Way." To the traditional Native American Indian people it was created by the many footsteps of the spirit wolves who dance across the sky each night. The wolf is the spirit teacher who calls everyone and guides us all to our spiritual family, spiritual wisdom and our soul-mates. This is a story about a young newspaper reporter who travels to northern Canada to a distant Indian reservations near the Yukon border. She discovers her connection with her spiritual "relatives" under the guidance of a Cree Indian Medicine woman. Suddenly she can hear the songs of the wolf and learns true relationship with Great Spirit and the spirit Grandmothers of the Medicine Wheel. A mysterious Native American Indian man guides and supports her as she receives profound messages in a Vision Quest ceremony and healing in the Sweat Lodge. Michael protects the ancient pathway and guides her to her new teachers, but most importantly he lovingly supports her to find the pathway of the heart.

The Hopi are the westernmost group of the Pueblo Indians of the southwestern U.S. They live on a high, dry plateau in northern Arizona, and have been a sedentary, agricultural people. This study establishes the stylistic parameters of song in a particular culture. Author List determines what is meant when a Hopi person states that two or more performances are those of the same song. To what extent can speech sounds, pitches, and durational values, or the forms of which they are the constituents, differ and the performances still be considered to be those of the same song? List transcribed and compared 8 recordings of performances of a particular kachina dance song and 11 recordings of performance of a particular lullaby, made from 1903 to 1984. Illus.

The 1940s ushered in an era of musical experimentation and innovation at the Walt Disney Studios. Artists from all over the world flocked to California to be part of the magic, and their groundbreaking styles influenced such classics as Dumbo and Bambi as well as shaped the masterpieces that followed such as Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. For this volume, author Didier Ghez has unearthed hundreds of enchanting images—from early sketches to polished concepts for iconic features—by five exceptional artists who shaped the style of the Studio's animation during this period of unbridled creativity. With evocative descriptions and excerpts from the artists' journals and autobiographies, this magnificent collection offers a rare look at the visionaries who breathed life into some of the most beloved films of our time.
